Our note on each quarter RPC files

10-Q filed October 29: RPC

Model value −6.5%

RPC Inc reported revenue of $1.81bn for the twelve months to September 2026, up 17.8% on the year, though that pace has eased from the 25.4% growth seen a quarter earlier. Among the 27 oil & gas equipment & services companies we cover, this growth ranks fourth. Margins have moved the other way: free cash flow slipped to 2.0% from 4.9%, while the operating margin narrowed to -2.2% from 3.9%. These shifts pull our model value down from $10.99 to $10.28 a share, still well above the $6.27 share price. We keep the rating at Buy. At the current price, the market appears to be pricing in cash flow shrinking by roughly 1.6% a year over five years, a far more pessimistic outlook than the 15.9% annual revenue growth RPC has actually delivered.

Where RPC stands after its latest 10-Q

Our cash-flow model value is $10.99 a share, against a share price of $6.43. At that price, our model says the market is pricing in cash flow shrinking about 1.2% a year for five years, slower than the 15.6% a year revenue growth it has delivered.

Valuation

RPC Inc valuation models and calculator

What the price is pricing in

The share price implies about 1.3% a year of cash-flow growth for five years.That is slower than the 15.9% a year revenue growth RPC has delivered.

  • Priced in1.3%
  • Last 12 months17.8%
  • 3 years a year2.0%
  • 5 years a year15.9%

Our cash-flow model with every input fixed except growth over the next five years, solved for the growth at which the model value equals the share price ($5.95, Nov 3, 2026). Cash-flow growth then fades to 2.5% a year; discount rate 8.5%. Delivered figures are revenue growth from SEC filings.

How we got here: a discounted-cash-flow model of RPC Inc's free cash flow after stock-based pay with after-tax interest added back ($73.3M, FY2026 Q3 TTM), growing 4.5% and 6% in the next two years (forecasts, guidance and its record), then back to 7.9% by year five, and fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%. Lower and higher growth cases span ~$6.1–~$10 ; that spread sets a 25% margin before we rate Buy or Sell.

Produced by Fundamentalytics' automated valuation model on November 3, 2026, using delayed market prices. Rating meanings, methodology and conflicts: recommendations disclosure and research disclaimer. General research, not personal advice — it does not consider your circumstances. Prices can fall as well as rise.

Our value per share comes from a discounted-cash-flow model of RPC Inc's free cash flow after stock-based pay ( $73.3M, FY2026 Q3 TTM, with after-tax interest added back): growth for five years as below (the first two years from forecasts, guidance and the company's record), fading to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5%, then cash added and debt and other claims subtracted. These are model values under stated assumptions, not price targets or recommendations.

Valuation models

We value RPC Inc as an operating company, with every model that fits that kind of business. Cost of equity 8.9%: the 10-year Treasury yield (4.9%) plus a beta of 0.88 times a 4.5% equity risk premium.

Value per share by model
Model Value per share In the combined value?
Cash-flow model (DCF) Free cash flow to the firm (after stock pay, with after-tax interest added back), grown then faded to 2.5%, discounted at 8.5% as the firm rate, less debt and other claims. ~$7.9 ~$6.1–$10 Primary model, counts double
Forward price-to-earnings vs peers Next year's consensus earnings per share times peers' typical (harmonic-mean) forward price-to-earnings. Uses analysts' consensus estimates (third-party data), not our forecasts. ~$4.0 ~$3.7–$5.0 Included
Residual income Book value plus the present value of returns above the cost of equity, fading over ten years. ~$6.8 ~$4.8–$9.9 Included
Justified price-to-book Book value times (return on equity - growth) / (cost of equity - growth): steady-state returns. ~$7.3 ~$6.2–$8.8 Included
Combined value Weighted average of the models that apply: the primary model (cash-flow model (dcf)) counts double. Models more than 5x or less than 0.2x the share price, or more than 3x away from the other models' median, are left out. ~$6.8 ~$4.0–$7.9 4 models

Different models fail in different ways, so where several apply we average them rather than trust one. Peer-based models compare RPC Inc with Oil & Gas Equipment & Services in our coverage, using third-party market data.

Options strategies

All options ideas

How RPC Inc’s listed options are priced, and three ways to use them that follow from our valuation. Quotes are delayed, read November 2, 2026. Check the live chain at your broker before trading.

Cash-secured put

Not offered: fundamentals grade C+ (needs B+ or better).

We suggest selling a put only on well-rated companies, at a strike where the price you would pay if assigned (strike less premium) is at or below our fair value.

Covered call

Not offered: no liquid call at or above our price target — the model says the upside is worth more than any listed strike.

For holders: sell a call at a strike at or above our fair value, so the shares are only sold at a price the model calls full value.

Collar

Not offered: the shares trade below our fair value: a collar caps upside the model expects.

For holders of a stock trading at or above our fair value: buy a put for a floor and sell a call to pay for it.

General research, not personal advice. Options can lose you more than you expect and are not suitable for everyone: put sellers can be made to buy shares that keep falling, call sellers give up gains above the strike, and results or news can move prices sharply. Chances shown are approximations from each option’s delta. Spreads, fees and early assignment are not modelled.
